Microsoft is finally getting serious about urging users running Windows 11 on unsupported hardware to upgrade their systems or downgrade their version of Windows. It seems that.
Starting with the January 2023 Patch Monthly Update, users running retail versions of Windows 11 2H22 on unsupported hardware will be notified via the Windows Feedback Hub and Microsoft’s forums that the system requirements are not met. No, please go to settings for more information” watermark. It’s in the bottom right corner of your desktop.
“Go to Settings,[詳細]The hyperlink takes you to Microsoft’s website and explains about installing 11 on devices that don’t meet the system requirements. It also suggests reverting to 10, which can only be done 10 days after the upgrade. ,” one user said. Microsoft Community Forum (opens in new tab).

Microsoft first demoed this watermark “feature” to Windows Insider testers last March. However, not all users are seeing it, so Microsoft may be testing it on some accounts or rolling it out slowly (or both).
Windows 11 has some surprisingly tight minimum system requirements due to the need for TPM 2.0 security.As a result, Windows 11 is Intel’s 8th generation (and Several 7th generation) and AMD’s 2nd generation processors. Also, at a minimum he should have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. If your PC meets these requirements and you see this message, he likely needs to enable TPM 2.0 in the BIOS.
At the moment, unsupported systems seem to only have to deal with the somewhat annoying watermark, but this could be the first step towards something more drastic. It warns of disabling updates for systems that aren’t installed (although this hasn’t happened yet, as the watermark will only appear if you have installed the latest update).
So just buy a new CPU (according to Microsoft). Or uninstall Windows 11 and downgrade to Windows 10. This can be done within a 10 day window. Or hide the message with a registry edit (or a light colored wallpaper).
